Witnessing renewal in any form is a good and wonderful thing. I'm seeing that with our magnolias coming out now. Feeling a slight urge to draw again. But have to finish a sewing project I committed to first... :) I don't dare start anything else till that's out the way. ( I must tell my friend in Arizona who has a garden to grow poms - the climate there should be good.)Gillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03994846953739263248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2345416874617110896.post-58076442437769508442009-04-28T18:53:00.000+08:002009-04-28T18:53:00.000+08:00Thanks for your comment, Paris breakfast... nice n...Thanks for your comment, Paris breakfast... nice name, oh my!! Well you could do a lot worse than fly to Paris for pomegranates for breakfast. They're selling pommie juice here now as a healthy anitoxidant rich elixir...

I've never seen Pommies growing (...Lovely painting!<br />I've never seen Pommies growing (especially since I live in NYC) but I am addicted to them. <br />I eat the seeds every morning all through the winter and never catch colds or flu ever...well not for the past 7 years I've been eating them. I don't suppose I could follow your example in non-tropical New York City :(<br />At least I can find them off-season when I go to Paris...<br />But that's rather a long way to go for a pomegranete...ahem<br />:)Parisbreakfastshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03558314043814894010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2345416874617110896.post-10840655622765419682009-04-26T06:48:00.000+08:002009-04-26T06:48:00.000+08:00Hello again, and thanks, Laura.

I remember what I have been missing in not blogging... friends like yourself, the stimulation of links such as Persephone (going to look her up now), and of course the dip into others' creative lives and minds.Viviennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10002012531162874560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2345416874617110896.post-27543199266870525232009-04-25T21:10:00.000+08:002009-04-25T21:10:00.000+08:00So nice to see you back, Vivienne!

You paint pomegranates so well--and I think they're very difficult!<br />I believe pomegranate was the fruit Persephone ate?laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11999450626008299190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2345416874617110896.post-1777121566052761492009-04-25T20:35:00.000+08:002009-04-25T20:35:00.000+08:00Ho loyal sister...thanks for looking at my musings...Ho loyal sister...thanks for looking at my musings. The painting looks a bit better than for real... the photograph's colour was all wrong, and in correcting it, I have enhanced the contrast quite a lot, so it looks a lot crisper than it really does.<br />I remember now that I like painting stripes.Yes the dogs are back in clover, and very sweet!Viviennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10002012531162874560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2345416874617110896.post-65613230321172073592009-04-25T19:46:00.000+08:002009-04-25T19:46:00.000+08:00Whoopee!

The painting is just beautiful - I'm sure I did see this in your dining room - the fruit ones were there when we visited, weren't they? The poms are masterfully painted, and that's a wonderful re-birth story. When I was looking up symbols (for altar cushions I think) they're biblically a symbol of fertility - may it be so in Dwellingup. The bush looks so pretty in the urn, and darling Harrison appreciating all the fruit - he and Shashi must be so happy you're home!!Cathy Gatlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05004501411878060668noreply@blogger.com
